The Apache Directory team is pleased to announce the release of=
ApacheDS 2.0.0-M7, the seventh milestone toward a 2.0 version.

ApacheDS is an extensible and embeddable directory server entirely writt=
en in Java, which has been certified LDAPv3 compatible by the Open Group. B=
esides LDAP it supports Kerberos 5 and the Change Password Protocol. It has=
been designed to introduce triggers, stored procedures, queues and views t=
o the world of LDAP which has lacked these rich constructs.

Here is the release note for Apache Directory ApacheDS 2.0.0-M7:

DIRSERVER-1093 - the ResourceRecordEncoder and QuestionRecordEncoder=
have bug for empty domainName
DIRSERVER-1697 - Creation of new syntax fails due to ERR_277 Attribute =
m-obsolete not declared in objectClasses of entry
DIRSERVER-1698 - Search on entries with multiple AVA in RDN does not wo=
rk correctly if the initial RDN order is not used
DIRSERVER-1702 - Adding an index through annotation does not work
DIRSERVER-1712 - If the index are created using their alias, they are d=
eleted immediately
DIRSERVER-1711 - Index initialization is taking way too much time
DIRSERVER-1713 - Error on console with first start of clean system <=
/p>

Note that this is a milestone, and some parts of the API or configuratio=
n can change before the 2.0 GA. We don't have any defined time frame for th=
e 2.0-G1 release, we do expect to release a few more milestones before reac=
hing the 2.0-GA.
